update
I took a little
artistic liberty with two shots from yesterday of the lion cubs. I hope you like them as I uncaged them. They will be posted for sale over the next
few days.
We attended
the eighth annual Latino Festival today at Parque Paraiso. I found my friend Jesus from Big Kabuda’s
Burgers at the Venezuelan food booth. He
suggested I try this pita filled with chicken so I did, with a drink for
$2. He wasn’t kidding, it was really
good!
I got
introduced to his Venezuelan buddies and Jesus says he is going to join forces
with these folks for next year. The
blurb on GringoTree described it thus:
~~~ The 8th Annual Latin Festival is Sunday
July 22 at Parque El Paraiso. Singing and dancing groups from Colombia, Cuba,
Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela
and Ecuador
will perform from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. In addition, there will be booths
selling food from the participating countries. Admissions is free.~~~~
They
had good entertainment, a loud puppet show, lots of hawkers and you could get
your picture taken with a llama. Kids
were blowing bubbles everywhere. I opted
for a caricaturist for $2 and it was good for a laugh, especially to the
critics watching…. The people were
there from ARCA with lots of dogs to adopt.
I hope a few of those lovely animals found good homes today.
I took
a few videos, mostly of Colombian performers and strung them together. It is long but you can fast-forward to catch
pieces of different song and dance routines.
Here it is: http://youtu.be/L72wnqptD3s
As I
was walking out I saw two mounted policemen on fine steeds and then saw two
pickup trucks with family seated in the box.
I got a shot of one group, but the other one had six people in the back,
with room for six more.
Enjoy.
